The only time those trucks along with all the other makes look good are in my rearview mirror, which is all the time.
pretty sure stock vs. stock he'd blow your doors off, 6.2 or not.

 

They're both rated the same 0-60. 6.3 sec...however...you get next to a guy with a RCSB, and your toast.

 

The 6.3sec is for the quadcab

 

 

 

I think Car and Driver broke into the 14s in the quarter with a RCSB Tundra with the 5.7 and the lowest axle gears. They also launched in 4WD though. Not sure I'd be willing to drive my personal vehicle the way those guys hammer the press fleet cars though. :)

Some independent tests I've seen put a stock 6.2 CC slightly faster than a Tundra DC 5.7. Doesn't matter to me, as I only care what it does with a heavy load behind it, and both would pull harder than my 5.3.

 

 

 

I have 2 Toyota 5.7's under me, so i will keep saying they look better in my rearview mirror. :P

LOL! Same experience here. The tuned 6.2l and transmission will be looking at just about any truck in the rear-view. And will surprise the hell out of some cars.

Unless the TRD is supercharged, which you wouldn't know until they toast you.

 

They install 'em and warranty them...oh and roll it into your financing. More than I can say for GM...You know how many people would pay for that option. I would have been all over that, a warrantied S/C. And I know they have them to fit....

The "dark side" would be Ford.

 

Nice looking truck. I like the wheel/tire combo.

 

Wrong, the dark side is foreign. American vehicles are made here and the money stays here, some foreign vehicles are made here and employ american workers but the money goes back overseas.

Fixed. How do think GM stock and bond holders felt 2 years ago? Actually, anyone who owned a US index fund at that time got burned too, since GM was in the S&P 500.

Where was your Silverado made...or your Equinox for that matter?

my honest opinion, tundras are hidious...they are like that fat chick at the bar that never gets any better looking with beer...i'd go down the american line long before i go to the ricers but thats just me, why? because america coined the true pick up truck...but whatever man as long as your happy...oh and remove the turd stickers, turds belong in the toilet not on wheels

Oh god... lets keep this on track!!

 

Nice Truck!!

 

I was considering them too. I ended up getting my Sierra Denali for ~5k more than a modestly build Tundra, so the decision was easy.

 

Honestly, im not too thrilled with them stock, but i like how they look lifted.

 

This is the height & tire size i would've gone with mine... HATE the color though. I like'd the blue/slate with a nice set of black wheels.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
